If I install a new Hard Disk, How to get to know whether it is wd1 or anything eles? well, the numbers aren't picked randomly -- see start of http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html If you know your computer (and read that article a few times with no preconceptions), you can predict what the next hard disk name will be. In Linux, Fdisk -l show all the available hard disks. In OpenBSD what's the command for it? One of linux's many non-charming displays. Try this: $ sysctl hw.diskcount hw.diskcount=9 $ sysctl hw.disknames hw.disknames=sd0:4b8432d7819c0c85,cd0:,sd1:954c43c63da1e128,sd2:d9f3f58824ed9e20,sd3:4b8432d7819c0c85,sd4:ef8be159ad6b717f,sd5:eb3971fada5612b9,sd6:e4fc87e6abfa5e45,sd7:e92e54806f9e4124 In case you are wondering...that's a six physical disks and a couple softraid disks on a sun e250. (do a sysctl hw on your machine...in many cases, you will be amazed) Or use duids, and don't worry 'bout names. Keep reading in the above link. :) Nick.

Hi, you can try this : /usr/sbin/sysctl hw.disknames Cheers, Wesley Le 2012-12-21 7:17, Indunil Jayasooriya a écrit : HI, I would like to know How to list available all hard disks in OpenBSD ?

Re: How to list available all hard disks in OpenBSD
Hi,
Sometimes I just can't let well enough alone ;-)
Add this to your .profile
Fdisk-l () { sysctl hw.disknames | sed -e 's/[,=]/\
/g' ; }
From my laptop command line:
ryl@smag {~} Fdisk-l
hw.disknames
sd0:f07ccfaba910bc8e
cd0:
sd1:21a268bf64300a23
ryl@smag {~} vi .profile
just to feel at home ;-)
BTW, I've never seen the command Fdisk -l and the
fdisk -l I know requires a device name to list
the device's partition table.
Knowing Linux though, it wouldn't surprise me to
hear that some distro has a Fdisk command that
behaves as you describe.
Best,
Ray

If I run below 2 commands, it will give an output.
dmesg |grep wd0
fdisk wd0
If I install a new Hard Disk, How to get to know whether it is wd1 or

In Linux, Fdisk -l show all the available hard disks. In OpenBSD what's
the
command for it?
